I had a kitchenet built in my Casita at my kids house, I want to put tile behind the sink. Its not very big and I bought tile that comes in a square piece. Its glass. Ive seen it done several times on home shows but what is it I use for the adhesive and grout that makes it stick to the wall

Hi, use a thin set mortar to put on the wall for the tiles to stick to. You would grout the wall a couple of days after you get the tile on there.

You need to buy white mastic (tile glue) made for glass tile. You use wall grout for grout in any color that works for you. Don't just buy any mastic, you need white for glass. You apply with a fine tile trowel. Any tile store could help you with what you need. Also seal the grout after about a week to keep it clean.
you can use mastic that is pre-mixed glue or tinset that comes in powder and you need to mix that yourself

You need something called mastic to have it stick to the wall. You could go to your local home improvement store and they will guide you in the right direction.
Maybe check with your local improvement store. Tell them what kind of tile you have and ask what is the best product.

Tile glue you need spread some wear you want tile then lay tile streight then spread some more then lay tile keep doing that till done then you need grout let tile sit like that 24 hours then grout with a sponge get grout on all cracks mix according to box directions.
You should put cement board up with screws, then use a tile mastik to adhere the tiles. You might want want to tape them in place so they don't slide. Once they are dry and set, add the grout. When the grout is dry, you can seal it.
